James Keelaghan - Refugee


CAPO: 5th Fret


INTRO: C majorC  FF  C majorC  FF

    C majorC
I will write you one last time

You will be here in the morning

I imagine that you're sleeping
    FF       G+G
On the North Atlantic swell
     C majorC
There's a wind in off the sea

Enough to keep me waking
 FF
Enough to make me think
    G+G
We will say no more farewells

    C majorC
All the words that pass between us

A augmentedA line of pale blue letters

Stretching from the Sambro lighthouse
    FF         G+G
To the waves around Lands End
      C majorC
Now you're following that line

Enveloped by the darkness
    FF
You'll find me waiting
G+G         C majorC
When you reach its end


CHORUS:
    G+G
All the ones who ran from war
    FF        C majorC
All the wealthy and the wounded
     G+G
That have landed on this shore
      FF        G+G
They don't mean a thing to me
     C majorC
All that matters is the one

Who will be with me tomorrow
       G+G            C majorC   FF  C majorC  FF
It's a lonely heart that loves the refugee

    C majorC
You've left behind your home

I have left behind my family

We have come here to this shore
     FF          G+G
With the strength to start anew
     C majorC
There's a world here for the taking

A augmentedA safe and steady harbour
     FF
There's a million things to think of
   G+G
But tonight I'll think of you


      C majorC
Well, it's immigrants we are

This land has known no other

There's a million came before us
     FF        G+G
A augmentedA million more will follow on
  C majorC
An endless wave is washing

On this rocky coastline
    FF
Carving features in the landscape
    G+G       C majorC
Fanning out and moving on


CHORUS:
    G+G
All the ones who ran from war
    FF        C majorC
All the wealthy and the wounded
     G+G
That have landed on this shore
      FF        G+G
They don't mean a thing to me
     C majorC
All that matters is the one

Who will be with me tomorrow
       G+G            C majorC   FF  C majorC  FF
It's a lonely heart that loves the refugee


     C majorC
Tomorrow morning you'll look out

You will see this lovely coastline

From Mitchell Bay to Prospect
    FF        G+G
It will seem like open arms
     C majorC
And those arms will enfold you

Sweep you safe into the harbour
 FF               G+G
Deliver you from loneliness and harm


     C majorC
Tomorrow morning I will climb

Upon the hill above the harbour

I will look out to the East
       FF         G+G
To where the heaven meets the sea
     C majorC
When the ship has come in sight

I will run down to the dockside
  FF         G+G       C majorC
And welcome here just one more refugee


CHORUS:
    G+G
All the ones who ran from war
    FF        C majorC
All the wealthy and the wounded
     G+G
That have landed on this shore
      FF        G+G
They don't mean a thing to me
     C majorC
All that matters is the one

Who will be with me tomorrow
       G+G            C majorC
It's a lonely heart that loves the refugee
       G+G            C majorC   FF  C majorC  FF  C majorC
